Follow this guide to replace the battery on a Sony DualShock 4 CUH-ZCT2 Playstation controller.
This guide will also work for the older CUH-ZCT1 model controller but be sure to order the JDM-030 battery, which has a different sized connector. You can check which model controller you have by referencing the sticker on the rear panel.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

For this DualShock 4 CHU-ZCT2U Battery Replacement, shouldn’t the battery model be JDM-040 and not JDM-030 for this controller. I ordered the battery listed but the connector was too large. So I believe this needs to be edited to match accordingly to avoid confusion and incorrect orders. Thanks!

Good catch! I just pulled apart the ZCT1U and ZCT2U models and you are right. I will fix this in the guide. Thank you!

Can perhaps someone tell me what exact connector does the original battery use ?

Just bought and the connector does not fit for the newer gen controllers. Dissapointing

Is there a conclusion to this? I force charged two batteries from two controllers (which died within the same day) in a known good controller (which has the larger battery connector which can accommodate the smaller ones) each for about three hours (~470mA/h) until they each showed a measured 4ish volts dry test. Once plugged back in neither worked either with the ps button or usb physical connect but funny each will “share” by holding the PS+Share button for a while, idk how to have it actually pair with my station any more. Even after using the reset button on the back. Haaaalp :). I’ll likely figure it out before someone responds to this but for the sake of anyone who can’t troubleshoot please post any answer if you have one, kThanksXO
